Just another shoot

It was too windy, the wind blew my lighting umbrella to the ground and bended two shafts, so I threw it away. Luckily the flash did not break, or it'll turn out to be a $400 photoshoot. Phew...

Nexus


I wish I could make a video like this, even like 5 seconds in total, I would be happy. Vince/Rich, let's do this... :D On a side note, I am very disappointed with the Motorola Droid (Adobe sent one for me to play with, for work of course), it sux, it's heavy, slow, and touch screen is horrible. I think this HTC one is much better tho, I will have to check it out when I get a chance.

BUSY

I have been quite busy with work, even staying up till 4:30 last night, felt shitty and knees felt weak as if they are about to break, Susan didn't like it, anyway, finally got some time to process some pics, so here they are. :D Oh ya, Olympics!!!

Happy New Year...


I have been to Vancouver for about 20 years and I have never done new year's countdown in downtown, neither did Susan. Since our clubbing plans fell through, we decided to countdown ourselves there for the first time. We took skytrain and got there in a hurry right after the dinner with my friends at Q4, and to our surprise, it wasn't packed at all, there were people gathering around, but it wasn't packed or anything, not what I had imagined. I thought it was the weather, cuz it was sort of raining, just a little bit, not enough to use my umbrella though. We walked down Granville for 15 min to check out some of the clubs there, but suddenly, on our way back to Robson, it got crowded quickly! People started to gather around Granville and Robson. It finally got really packed about 5-10 minutes before the countdown to 2010. Anyway, I didn't bother bringing my dSLR, so this is all I got, Happy New Year... :D

Christmas

This year, I realized I have never really had a Christmas with a 'real' girlfriend (by that I meant, most of you may already know that my previous relationships all ended in long distance, for some weird strange reason, so we never got to spend time together during the Holidays) until this year. It was hectic, lots of dinners with families and friends, especially my sister was also visiting from Singapore, but it felt nice, warm, with lots of love. :D

I do feel bad I didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted with my sis though. :( Sorry sis... Oh my TV is here, byeee...

Canucks vs Capitals (3-2)

Alex Ovechkin was in town, he didn't do much, he played like crap, but it was fun watching him skate still. Other than the rowdy fans beside us, and the boring stretches throughout parts of 2nd and 3rd period, it was pretty exciting game to watch.

:D

American Apparel Contest

Finally found some time to help my sis with her lookbook photos. I was kind of rushing her as I was side tracked with something else, so I didn't spend as much time setting up the environment. So what ended up happening was that I had to photoshop all the nasty stuff in the background. There were power outlets, nails, wires, on/off switches, heater control, and stains from picture frames, etc... But it turned out okay... right? Sigh, a nice studio would've helped. Anyway, help her win the American Apparel contest if you are bored, hype her outfit here, thanks.

Busy Weekend

It was a hectic weekend, started off with the Ensemble Xmas party, two birthday dinners, two birthday parties, one get together and lastly, a dimsum lunch. Lots of freakn food and not to mention all the alcohol consumed...!!! After all that, I am still 152 lbs, not bad... I wonder where all that fat went... probably cuz its too cold, burned them all away during the night... Anyway, no album this time, just a collage of photos taken with my compact camera. Oh ya it's snowing...

About time...

It's about time that I take pics again. The weather's been so crappy that I haven't been using my camera to its full potential. It's been sunny for the past few days now, I finally took it out for walk... :D

andbythewei.com

I have been wanting to take pics with my flashes outdoor, but never had a chance to do so, until today, since my sis needed new photos for her fashion blog at www.andbythewei.com. It was cold but it turned out pretty well. Those optical slaves didn't work at all for the 2nd and 3rd flashes I wanted to use, prob cuz it was still too bright outside, so I ended up using only 1 flash with the umbrella.

Shitty Weather...

Just some photos from last week that I took with my compact camera at various places. I haven't been able to take photos with my D3 due to weather. Um... I need ro challenge myself and start taking quality photos in this shitty weather... :D Ideas?

Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion


I didn't know his speech was controversial because I never saw it, but now that I have, I wouldn't say it's controversial, it was just Michael Jordan being himself. We all know he is a borderline jerk, on the court and off the court. Did you all expect him to be humble and classy on his night? I didn't. He bullied a lot of ppl in his speech, unnecessary, yes, but it's his speech, he has the mic, it's his moment, and he wasn't lying about all the little stories he told, I had a few laughs, so it's all good... :D

20091108 Just Another Brunch...

We haven't had brunch for awhile, the last time was almost a month ago just before the trip to Vegas. We went to Hell's Kitchen for brunch but we weren't impressed, the food was just OK, not spectacular. We enjoyed our coffee/cookie more though at 49th Parallel just across the street, it was packed but it was worth it.
